I have traced back as far as Royalty, yup I am royalty all right. I dont know the name but all that I know is that he lived in Scotland with a castle and everything! Also I am related to a Cowboy that got hung because he was a horse thief, after that I found out that our family actually owned slaves (which I despise) it makes me furious to think that I have a horse thief and slave owners in my family:madgo:

He meant his family was royalty long before that.

My parents traced back and found out that I am directly realated to John Winthrop first governor of Massachusets( I know I spelled that wrong) and I am also directly related to George Washington.

The farthest I\'ve gotten to was the tsar/czar on my father\'s side... Peter the Great.

On my mother\'s side, Germans who came to America in the 1700\'s and some of them even fought in the Revolutionary War!

Well, my grandma has about the whole tree. I\'ve got family in practically every country, the tree is traced back to the 13th century, and there\'s some nobility in it. Dutch and German from my father\'s side, Spanish and French from my mother\'s. At least, that\'s what I know of.

I actually can trace myself clear back to the pilgrims.

Holey crap man! I didnt know that! Man this is begining to get very interesting! Thanks you guys for sharing all of this, if there is more please post. /\\_/\\

In case any of you misunderstood, I did not say I was Royalty from Japan like Wind keeps saying I said. Wind, I never said that I was Japanease Royalty, all I did was put Japanease words into my mood.

My mom is currently working on tracing our roots, so far it's quite possible that I am Castillian, meaning one of my ancestors was ruler of Spain at one time. I wish it was easier to track this sorta thing.

The only thing I know is I'm mainly from different Europeon countrys.Ireland,Germany,Sweden. I wish I was part Italian cause they have some GOOD FOODS and cool towns. The roman gods are a little intresting to read and hear about.

Hmmm, I asked my parents about it... here is some family background...:

- I have traced my family back to Germany and Poland. My grandparents had left Germany a little after World War 2. And I know now some of my Jewish family members from Poland were in the Holocaust. One was blinded by a soilder and the other lost his wife and daughter when a soilder took them to the gas chambers.

- My other side of the family is from the best country in the world, Canada! All my crazy, drunk cousins live there. *wonders if I am related to the Doc or Necro in any way* o.o (Wait, Necro lives up there, right?)

- I also know that some of my family came from Scotland, France, and South Korea.

So, I am mostly American, German, and Canadian.

Thats pretty cool! Although I feal sorry for the guy who lost his family to the people who put them in the gas chambers.

Yeah, it was a terrible thing. Some kids in my class heard about this, they think I'm Jewish although I was just Confirmed. That is a Catholic sacrament.

As for my Canadian cousins, most of them are drunk alot. xD I've been in a car with a drunk one before. He ran over his lawn chair. When we got back he was like "Who the *beep* *beep* my *beepin* lawn chair?!"

xD I love them.

Ok Well I have a story for both sides of my family my mothers side is MUCH cooler.

Clan Campbell of Argyll, Scotland(mom side); descended from Pictish tribes of Strathclyde; the name first appeared in records when Gillespie Campbell acquired a grant of land in 1263; he had married the heiress of O’Dune and inherited from her the Lordship of Loch Awe and initially the Campbells were Clan O’Duine, later called Clan Diarmid. Their first seat was Innischonnel Castle on Loch Awe. In 1296 Sir Cailen Mor Campbell was killed by the Macdougals, Lords of Lorne and from then on all Campbell chiefs are known as Mac Cailein Mor. His son, Sir Neil Campbell supported Robert the Bruce and gained much lands from the alliance, including those of the Macdougals. He also married Robert’s sister. Their son John was created Earl of Atholl and was killed at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333, dying without issue. Sir Duncan Campbell of Loch Awe was created Lord Campbell in 1445 and his grandson Colin, was created Earl of Argyll in 1457 and also inherited through his wife the Lordship of Lorne from which the lymphad of Somerled appeared on the Campbell arms. Another branch, the Campbells of Glenorchy became the Earls of Breadalbane. Other branches became Earls of Loudoun and from an arranged marriage, the Earls of Cawdor. As guardian of the infant Campbell, Earl of Argyll, Campbell of Cawdor was murdered in 1592 in a bid to secure the chiefship of the clan, but the young earl survived. In 1607, Macdonald lands at Kintyre were granted to Archibald, 7th Earl of Argyll and in 1615, the Macdonald islands of Islay and most of Jura were granted to Campbell of Cawdor. For supporting the Covenant during the Civil War, the clan suffered massive defeats by the Macdonalds and Archibald, 8th Earl of Argyll was executed after the Restoration. His son was executed for supporting the rebellion of Monmouth against James II.
Campbell Coat of Arms: Quaterly, 1st and 4th, Gyronny of eight or and sable (Campbell); 2nd and 3rd, argent, a lymphad sails furled, oars in action sable (Lorne).
Campbell Crest: A boar’s head feassways erased or, armed argent, langued gules.
Campbell Supporters: (Dukes of Argyll only) Two lions rampant guardant gules, armed or.
Campbell Motto: Ne obliviscaris
Campbell Motto Translation: Do not forget

Wood family(dad side): The very first record of the family name WOOD was found in Dumfriesshire, which is located in England. The WOOD family traces their ancestral roots back to Norman origin before the year 1100. From here they branched and migrated, gaining prosperity as a notable family of England and later other countries. for the wood family

Unforturnately I never asked so I can only trace back to 1916 {the year my great-grandma was born}. She lived through WW1 & WW2. The only other interesting person I can think off is one of my cousins, Ronald Mcnair. He was one of the astronauts who died when the rocket {called challenger] blew up in space.

I'm related to Carnies... seriously. My last name means the guy who goes around yelling that the carnival is here.

About 12,000 years be for Willam Wallace :hehe:

I did a little more searching, My Great-uncle founght just below General Douglas Maccarthur himself in the pacific part of WWII.

all i can trace back to is 2000 and it wasn't intrasting
